Maury, which are generally pretty well know hereabouts. A t essel Lost. —On last Tuesday night, says the Charleston Courier , the British schooner Sophia, from Nassau, with a good cargo, for a Confederate port, arrived off Tybce. The wind suddenly came out strong from the Westward, and she was compelled to put to sea. After attempting to enter several ports to the South of this, she ran ashore niyir Da rien, and became a complete wreck. The schooner amDcargo was owned in Savannah, with the exception of a lot of blankets, which was the property of the State of Georgia. A late number of the New York Daily News gives an account of the capture-of the block ade running steamer Cumberland by the Yan kee gunfboat jDe Soto. The - capture, of the Cumber hind was effected through the treach ery of an Officer of the Cumberland, named Peacock, who gave the Do Soto’s officers in Havana sin account of the courses of the Cum berland, the port she would sail for, etc. She was intercepted between Havana and Mobile, and Peacock was immediately rewarded (or his treachery by elevating him to a prominent position on the l)e Soto. The Yankees boast very much of the capture, ami estimate the “TaVtfrr AVk> OV a nrvVx «a vbm txA w T s*. l, MR)J AH k The Question of Exchange— Arrival of Confederate. Prisoners from Point Lookout.-~~lt is a little difficult to understand the. exact po sition of the issues which have interrupted the exchange of prisoners between our own and the Yankee Government. The fact that 80d of our prisoners at, Point Lookout were sent up by Butler to City Point on the last tlag-oT-tihice boat ied to the belief that the exchange, under the provisions of the cartel,, had been renewed, and that Butler had been recognized by our Government as Commis sioner o)t‘ Exchange, This is not the case, however. The men sent to us are received as paroled prisoner, under the cartel as it was before the hitch which interrupted the regu» lar exchange. In sending an equivalent, man for man will not be returned, but a number in ratio with the excess of prisoners which they claim to have in their possession. They claim to have 25 per cent, more of our prisoners than we have of theirs, and the understanding is that they are to send twenty-five per cent, excess to us in the delivery of prisoners. The letter of Judge Quid, refusing to recog nize Butler has not been withdrawn, nor have the difficulties with reference to the exchage ot negro troops been removed. Among- the officers returned by the flag-of truce'boat, we notice the following names: Cols. W. jS. Christian, 55th Ya. ; Rob t Bul lock, 7th Fla.; J. K. Connelly, 55th N. C. ; J.

Judge Levi Bishop, in an address, a short time since, at Cincinnati. Ohio, made the tol lowing points, as reported by the*Commercial, of that city. Judge Bishop seems emulous of sharing Jtlie fate of Yallandiglmm : 1. An; effective tribute to the closing acts of Buehandu’s Administration. 2. Th|e South didn't commence the war. 3. 011 John Brown did. 4. Slavery had nothing to do with ir. 5. The attempt to throw reinforcements into Foist Sumter was the “chip on the shoul der” which the South dared to disturb. 6. That the Abolitionists instigated the at tempt iift order to inaugurate hostilities. 7. Democrats must declare open, determin ed war against the administration. 8. Not another rap should be spent, not an other man recruited unless Mr. Lincoln turns copperhead in, his policy. it. The object of the administration is to en slave one Slate after another, and w here this object cannot be accomplished by other means, a mercenary soldiery will reduce them to bondage. 10. By the first day of November next every Democrat will be a aero—a conquering' here. 11. Open ami determined r. -i lance to the Conscript Act. 12. The shooting of a deserting conscript is deliberate murder. 13. assassination, of President Lincoln would; not be without virtuous precedent. “Ca?sajr had his Brutus, Charles I, his Grom well Marat his Charlotte Cordav, and Abra ham Lincoln may profit by their example. Among the* members of the Printer:' con vention, held in this city last week, were Mr. Sintri Rose, of the Journal & Messenger, and Mr. R. M. Ortne, Sr., of the Southern Record er, the Nestors of the Georgia press. Belli of these gentlemen have been connected with the weekly press in Georgia, between forte and fitly years : and notwithstanding the harmss ing and perplexing cases incident to the pro fession, they have as much energy, and are as much devoted to-their business now, as the youngest and most active of their brethren of the quill and the case. They exhibit no signs of weariness, and we expect they 'will stand by the “art preservative of arts,” until death finally lock3 up their forms forever—which event we trust will not happen for many years to come. — Conftdfrmte Union . $3 Per Month. From Florida— Destruction ok Salt Works.— A member of the lsth South Caro lina regiment, who arrived in this city last evening, reports all quiet at Lake Gilv, and in the immediate neighborhood of Jacksonville. He states that on Saturday last a.Yankee picket guard ot some iwentv mounted cavalry approached our lines, and sad den h wheeled round and retired at full speed, lie left the vicinity of Jacksonville on Sunday evening last. A portion of our army wa drawn up in line of battle on Saturday night: and re mained in that position until Sunday* morn ing, apprehending an attack from the enemy. Our pickets are two and a half miles beyond Cedar Creek. It is not believed that the ene my have been reinforced since the battle at Ocean Pond. At a place called Dead Mart’s Bay. on the South coast of Florida, a party of the enemy, including a number of deserters, recently de stroyed all the salt works in that vicinity. The Thomas county salt yvorks lost from 12,000 to 15,000 dollars in salt, salt pas, works, &e. Another party of about 80 deserters are en camped on the coast, and supply the enemy with beet, Ac. They are all yvell armed with guns sfnd ammunition, supplied by the enemy. Measures have been taken to disperse them/ lsueiiuihu!( News, 9th. -0 A correspondent of the Atlanta Register writes from the camp of the 05th Georgia regiment, a word of encouragement to the old ladies. He says : A short time ago our quartermaster drew from the Georgia Relief Aid Association, clo thing for such of our men as were destitute, and could not supply themselves elsewhere. On each garment of this clothing was tacked a card, stating by yvhomthe article yvas made, &c. AYlien the clothing was received there was not enough to give each man a full suit ; consequently it became necessary to make a lottery of it. During the engagement at Missionary Pidge, private Burton Weaver was lucky enough to get a pair of shoes, but, poor fellow, he had no socks and winter was fast approaching. Accordingly, when the drawing began, he went forward to try his luck. “Fortune fa vors the brave”- so he drew a splendid pair of well knit all wool socks, with a card at - tacked, on which wqs written; “Those socks were knit for our soldiers by Mrs. Nancy Weaver, of Fannin county, an old lady 70 years of age, who has six boys in the army.” Strange as it may appear-, Burton, the young est ,ot the six, by nyere chance drew and is now wearing those very socks ; and 1 have no dould he appreciates them more than the pos session of a dozen pairs knit by strangers. A Gaiiaiit I'caL Our readers will remember that some weeks ago a large lot of cattle that were being driv en from Yankeedom to provision the forces at Knoxville, was captured by some of General Loiigstreet’s men, and the w hole, about 1,200 in number, turned over to the Confederate commissary. We have just learned the par ticulars connected with this important cap ture, and as they have never been published, deem it not too late yet to place upon record •»« whLcn. tlic Yankee starvlings at Knoxville were chcaUeu <•«* «, suc ) l vast quantity of meat. The drove had reached a point about nine miles from Knoxville, and was under the es cort ®f three companies of t-fie Indiana six inonthY men. A party of Gen. Longstreet’s scouts, eleven in number, .discovered the prize, and, notwithstanding the disparity' of num bers, at once determined to secure it if possi ble. Placing themselves in ambush at a fa vorable point, at the proper moment they delivered a fire from their carbines, which dis abled some eight or ten of the Yankees, Im mediately drawing their revolvers, they made a charge, firing as they run. • So dismayed were the Yanks that ff-11 broke and fled, except one captain and forty-three privates, who sur rendered without resistance. The captors speedily started for Gen. Martin’s camp, 12 miles'distant, which they succeeded in reach ing with all their prisoners, and nine hundred and eighty of the cattle. Not satisfied with this, they procured aid from Gen. Martin, aud returning on the road, picked up over two hundred more ot the cattle that had escaped from them on the route. We regret our inability to give the names of the daring actors in this affair. They de served, as they received, a public acknowledg ment of their services, which was made by Gen. Longstreet, in a general order, and they were also granted a furlough of sixty days. Seven of the number were members of Terry’-. Texas rangers, and four of the 8d Arkansas cavalry. We should like to recoid (heir names, if possible.— Memphis Appeal. ♦ ♦ ■ Highly Important from New York.-— We have before us, says the Fayetteville (N. C.) Observer, a letter from a gentleman ot unques tionable character, who says: I heard a letter read this morning, written about ten days ago by a gentleman in New York .to his son in our army. The writer is an intelligent of that city. He ay.- that the President of the National Bank has issued an address to the new banks cautioning them against excessive issues and urging them to the exercise of the greatest watchfulness aud prudence, declaring that the aspect ot affairs was exceedingly gloomy, and warning them to prepare for a too surely approaching • la.-li. The gentleman himself writes that the general feeling in Ihe city now is for peace, and a con tinuance of the war is advocated simply to put off’ the evil day. He says farther, that the policy of Ihe enemy will be, hereafter, to avoid general engagements, and all fighting indeed, as far as possible, and to confine their efforts mainly to taking women and children prisoners , in the hope ot thus driving us into submission, through our sympathies with the helpless, lie says all hope of subduing us by aims is abandoned and people now talk openly of its impracticability, and denounce it as a folly. He thinks the cricis is near at hand, and" that, tin- present } ear will witn. - the end of the war. Arraigning the Kauicals.- Gov. Medarj of the Columbus (Ohio ) t'■ is battling boldly with the abolition administration in reference to the war. In a late number of his paper be says: In ifit* I*l j e.-( news from Washington in the* Republican papers, we find this, viz: it has leaked out that official lepmus put the Lmon loss fit Chattel llorsville, iti killed, w ounded and missing, at 28.000, 30,800 in t bicKahotni ny, 20,000 at second Manassas, 20.000 at Fred ericksburg, and 25,00© at Gettysburg. These appalling figures tell plainly what has become of the Grand Army of the winter of 1 802. We can’t bring back the‘lost, but we . an. as chri-tians and ] rlriots, make, an effort before God and man to save a remnant of what is left.

The murder of as pure and upright a man as ever lived, by an infuriated negro ! What an “interes ting incident" to portray with pen and pencil, to the delighted eyes of the demo niac people of the North, yvho thirst for our blood and our possessions. An “in i crest ing incident. Let our people re member the brutality of Harper and his compeers when they again seek to circu late their literature throughout our coun try. An “interesting incident?” The murder, of a sick and helpless white man by a negro, armed by an unnatural foe to do more wholesale murder.

The Hqusatoni. The Yankee version of the destruction of this vessel off Charleston harbor is as follows, taken from their papers of the Ist. : The following intelligence was received at Fort Royal, South Carolina, J'rom the block ading fleet off Charleston, announcing the loss of the sloop-of-war Housatoni, Captain Pickering, on Thursday, the 18th iust., at 9 o’clock, P. M. The circumstances are said to be as follows The watch on deck, perceiving something floating with the current, which to him at first, resembled a porpoise, reported the same to the officer of the deck, whereupon, Captain Pickering was notified, and he, being suspi cious ot the object, immediately gavq orders to slip the cable and get under way, which order was put into execution, but all to no purpose, for the rebel-propelled torpedo Da vis (the New Iron-sides’ old friend) struck her on the starboard quarter, and in a short space of time she sunk off Beach Inlet. Two officers and three men were lost; the remainder of the officers and crew were saved by clinging to the rigging until rescued by the boats of the fleet. A recent letter, speakiug of this torpedo, says : “The submarine affair, they say, came out of Beach inlet a week ago, intending to attack the Wabash, l*it she sunk when on the pas sage, and drowned all hands. She was raised the succeeding night, and towed in again.— This makes the third time that she has sunk and drowned all hands.” From North Carolina. The annexed items are gathered from the Wilmington Journal: One of the Federal vessels discovered a blockader on Saturday and gave chase. The craft ran on a rock and sunk. The blockader arrived safely at her wharf in Wilmington. On Saturday morning, Col. Hedrick, com manding at Bald Head, struck one, of the Yankee ship throe or four times, and from the agitation on board, and the crowding of boats around her, it i quite probable that she i3 in a precarious condition. (ti said that the Yankee blockade off Wil inrnglon has been increased very recently by three additional vessels, among them the much talked-of double tender steamer Eautaw, the fastest vessel in the Yankee service, and by their account, the fastest war vessel afloat. Both ends are alike, like a ferry-boat, so that she can run either way with equal facility. Hon. 8. ii Ilickett, Congressman elect from the seventh North Carolina, is dead.
